Sharma S. Availability optimization of a series-parallel systems using genetic algorithms

Paper, 5pp
Due to complicated structure of industrial systems, system-availability has become an increasingly
important issue. If the reliability of a complex system is increased, the related cost will also increase. The objective of this paper is to improve the design efficiency and to find
the most optimal policy for MTBF (mean time between failures), MTTR (mean time to repair) and related costs.
Pulping system, the main functionary part of paper industry, is the subject of study. MTBF and MTTR of various components, during the design phase, are obtained using genetic algorithms (GAs), in a cost effective manner, which helps the system analyst to formulate optimal design
policies and repair policies.

Paper - 11 p In this paper the reliability is presented as an important feature for use in mission-critical distributed applications. Certain aspects of distributed systems make the requested level of reliability more difficult. An obvious benefit of distributed systems is that they serve the global business and social environment in which we live and work. Another benefit is that they can improve the quality of services, in terms of reliability,...

Paper - 12 pp This paper studies the different behavior of two systems with two-unit cold- standby system under the assumption that system 1 works in three different modes Normal, partial failure and total failure. But system 2 works in two different modes Normal and total failure. The failure time and repair time are assumed exponentially distributed. The two systems goes for preventive maintenance randomly (in time). We develop the explicit exp...

Paper - 14 p This paper discusses software performability evaluation considering the real-time property. We assume that the software system has two operational states from the viewpoint of the end users: one is operating with the desirable performance level according to specification and the other is with degraded performance level. The time-dependent behavior of the system is described by the Markovian software availability model with performanc...

Paper - 16 pp System reliability is considered as an important performance index. Performance of engineering systems can be assessed by various techniques. The traditional analytical approach consists of developing a mathematical model that represents the system and to evaluate its reliability indices. There have been attempts in the literature to derive more realistic approaches for the reliability analysis of systems, for example, based on simu...

Paper, 16pp Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) is a method of estimating system reliability by combining logic models of the ways systems can fail with numerical failure rates. One postulates a failure state and systematically decomposes this state into a combination of more basic events through a process known as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Failure rates are derived from vendor specifications, historical trends, on-call reports, and many other...

Article Software reliability models are very useful to estimate the probability of the software fail along the time. Several different models have been proposed to predict the software reliability growth (SRGM); however, none of them has proven to perform well considering different project characteristics. The ability to predict the number of faults in the software during development and testing processes. In this paper, we explore Genetic Algor...

Paper - 21 p Prevalent black-box based approaches to software reliability modeling are inappropriate for the reliability assessment of modern component-based systems. The existing Markovian and semi-Markovian methods to predict the reliability and performance of such heterogeneous systems, suffer from several limitations: they are subject to an intractably large state-space for more involved scenarios, and they cannot take into account the influe...

Article 20 pp-Vlad Stefan Barbu, Nikolaos Limnios, November 19, 2006 This article presents the reliability of discrete-time semi-Markov systems. After some basic definitions and notation, we obtain explicit forms for reliability indicators. We propose nonparametric estimators for reliability, availability, failure rate, mean hitting times and we study their asymptotic properties. Finaly, we give a three state example with detailled calculus and n...
